Provision of Broadband Ocean-Bottom Seismographs

The University of Southampton sought to procure a small number (5-10 depending on cost) of broadband ocean-bottom seismographs to assess their interoperability with its existing instrument pool, with a view to expand these numbers in the mid-to-longer term. They would have been used primarily for solid Earth imaging using natural sources of seismic energy (e.g. earthquakes, ocean waves) and would also have been used in experiments that use man-made controlled seismic sources (e.g. airguns).
